Well..... MAYBE we can get the big guys at ARRL to pull some strings for us, but only AFTER they get LOTW fixed . Think they might have some time then?

They should have all the big wigs at FCC in their pocket, right? So the FCC guys can maybe get the Fish and Wildlife guys to...... OH DAMN ...... Almost fell out of my chair.... seems I was dreaming(again)..... sorry .

Dream.....or NIGHTMARE

DC, all of it, commission included should be FLUSHEDand then we should start over.

I wonder if the Italian group could get something going for E3? They should stand as good a chance at a license, etc. etc. as anyone, and they do go to Africa a lot.......

And... DAMN, cant someone FINALLY set up a trip to T33 that does not bail out at the last moment?Banaba has slowly moved up the Most Wanted list on ClubLog to number 29, ahead of some goodies like Glorioso, etc. etc.

Geno...With all due respect, you could be like me and have a solid 60 remaining on the list that for one reason or another have been elusive (the more common ones that is)....and sadly, it's looking like I won't be able to take that to 59, as I have not been in sync with ZL9HR....This sucky sunspot cycle, my not being able to hear them at all at night when they are spotted, them picking the worst possible time of year (for being busy) to go on the air, the shortness of the expedition, my sucky station, not to mention work and just not being around when they are audible are all factors.....Heard them on 20 this morning really nice, but did not have time to sit thru their working the EU pile.....So I am going to try and pull my fat butt out of bed @ 4:30 tomorrow morning and hope they are on again....So I think your humorous vent is somewhat premature....I would wait and see just what ANTO goodies 2013 will bring all of us before cutting loose......Who knows....there may be another 7O6Tish type surprise!......Send your letter to Santa now!...... .......

I've worked a lot of new ones this year but, I have certainly. Slowed down at 283. There are a few lurkers out there and 2 new ones on the horizon soon.

Does anyone else get a little sad after the new one rush goes away?I feel kinda bad for my buddies that have them all.I'm enjoying the chase for now.Frank KG6N

I dont think I will live long enough to work them all and lose the new one rush,I am 65 now, and I'm at 305, it has taken many years to get here.When I go, I want to go peacefully in my sleep dreaming of working an ATNO.

This year has been productive with six ATNOs for me. My total is now 340 worked with 338 confirmed. But being an old-timer has its cons since 15 of my 340 are deleted entities. But getting closer and closer to Honor Roll. Sadly, I know of no upcoming DXpeditions to anywhere new for me. But the activation of 7O was a pleasant shock -- so maybe XZ will surprise us too. 73, N4KZ

REPLY: In short, HELL NO!. In long, I am just happy to snag them and move on, to hopefully something that will not be obtrusive with all of the mayhem....remember, this is a hobby, not life & death.....
